Among the social groups that rose to prominence in the major social and political changes of the twentieth century, three elites - intellectuals, the managers of industry and the high government officials - have been singled out as the inheritors of the functions of earlier ruling classes and as vital agents in the creation of new forms of society in many countries (Bottomore 1964: 52). Intellectual elites in particular figured prominently in China's major cultural and political movements of the last century. However, there has been a prevalent perception since the Tiananmen events of 1989 that China's intellectuals, especially those who fail to capitalize on their expertise either through commercialization or provision of policy advice to government departments, or who do not criticize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are increasingly marginalized in society and sliding into irrelevance.

OPUS Help

OPUS

OPUS (Open Publications of UTS Scholars) is the UTS institutional repository. It showcases the research of UTS staff and postgraduate students to a global audience. For you, as a researcher, OPUS increases the visibility and accessibility of your research by making it openly available regardless of where you choose to publish.

Items in OPUS are enhanced with high quality metadata and seeded to search engines such as Google Scholar as well as being linked to your UTS research profile, increasing discoverability and opportunities for citation of your work and collaboration. In addition, works in OPUS are preserved for long-term access and discovery.

The UTS Open Access Policy requires UTS research outputs to be openly available via OPUS. Depositing your work in OPUS also assists you in complying with ARC, NHMRC and other funder Open Access policies. Providing Open Access to your research outputs through OPUS not only ensures you comply with these important policies, but increases opportunities for other researchers to cite and build upon your work.

OPUS archives UTS research submitted for Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) and Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA). It also stores digital theses and forms of scholarship that do not usually see formal publication.

How can you deposit works in OPUS?

When you claim (or enter) your research in Symplectic Elements, simply upload a copy of your work which can be made openly available. Symplectic provides information on which version of your work to upload. If you are unsure, please supply a copy of the Accepted Manuscript version. Ensure you check the box to "agree to the OPUS license terms".

Once uploaded, your works are automatically sent to OPUS and placed temporarily in Closed Access until reviewed by UTS Library staff.
